Description:

Our world and its people is a foundational social studies and geography class. In this course, we will explore a wide range of fascinating topics that will deepen your understanding of the world around us. Our curriculum is designed to develop foundational social studies skills while also delving into specific regions and their unique characteristics. My aim is to provide this age group with a firm footing for further explorations in middle school and high school.

During the first third of the year we will focus on Foundational Social Studies Skills including:

Landmarks, Map Skills, Continents, Oceans, Landforms, Bodies of Water, and Natural Resources. 

For the rest of the year we will be doing Unit Studies on continents and regions to include: 

The USA and Canada, Latin America, Europe & Russia, East Asia, South & Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania. 

Throughout the year, we will engage in hands-on activities, interactive discussions, worksheets, videos and virtual field trips to enhance students’ learning experience. By the end of the year, your student will have developed a solid foundation in social studies, gained a global perspective, and developed critical thinking and analytical skills.
